Description:
Auditing services for End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) patients requires a detailed understanding of specific treatment and billing guidelines. Auditors must ensure that all ESRD-related services, including dialysis and related care, are accurately documented and billed according to Medicare and other payer regulations.
During this webinar, we will discuss how these audits will include verifying the appropriateness of service codes, checking for proper documentation of patient conditions and treatments, and ensuring compliance with coverage criteria. Effective auditing helps prevent billing errors, avoid claim denials, and maintain compliance with regulatory standards. Regular audits and ongoing training are essential for managing the complexities of ESRD patient care and optimizing reimbursement processes. Let’s discuss the right ways for improvement.
